A great new addition to the neighborhood. This place seems less interested in making money than providing a cool place for cool people of all walks to find a common ground. Welcome home fellas.
This place is super chill! Plays old school records and makes old school drinks, better! Friendly staff, especially Katie, and great food make this a must visit when you're in Deep Ellum!
Shoals was such a chill spot. I came here with my wife and we ordered a lot of small plates to eat. They actually had live music and the ambiance was chill.
The food is really good. We were pleasantly surprised that it was Vegan. The food was very quick and our bartender was extremely prompt and helpful. We appreciate her service and left her a nice surprise as a thank you for working on Mother's Day and serving us.
Had an amazing time at this restaurant! Came in for one of my best friends birthdays (we are both vegan) and the food was so so good, service was great. I’ll definitely be back to try more. We got the Shishito peppers, plantains, kale salad, I got the Cubano and my friend got the Arepa (not pictured), and lastly we got the shiitake ceviche and some drinks. Recommend giving this place a try if you’re in Deep Ellum!
Oh my goodness me the food here is awesome! This is definitely on my top three choices for vegan eateries in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Even if you are not vegan, you will love it. The only thing I sad about is that the plate did not refill itself with every bite. If you are going to do a pickup, double-team that effort so that one person can do a lap while you run inside. We all know parking is a challenge in Deep Ellum and especially if you have a large vehicle. But trust me, every bite will erase any parking shenanigans.
Amazing vegan, black owned spot in the fast paced Deep Ellum in downtown Dallas. Food was remarkable and the bartenders provided amazing crafted cocktails. Atmosphere is so nice and dark. Perfect for a quick bite.
My wife and I absolutely fell in love with this place. We started off with the shiitake ceviche and each of the savory empanadas. The ceviche was delicious, even if it is a bit of a stretch to call this a vegan variation on this classic dish; it was more of a pico de gallo. The curried chickpea empanada was my favorite, while my wife preferred the mushroom & lentil picadillo; the beyond wonton was decent, but nothing mind blowing like the other two.
I ordered the Chopped Cheez sandwich and it was delicious; however, I was jealous of my wife’s BBQ Jaca Torta. The smoked jackfruit is such a delightfully complex and flavorful element; I can’t stop thinking about it, I can’t wait to come back and order any and every dish that has it in it.
We finished with a strawberry empanada for dessert; a perfect end to a delicious and filling meal.
From what I've read Shoals recently changed their menu. This does not mean the food is bad.
I stopped in and ordered three empanadas and the cubano with potatoes. Everything was decent but I feel it was lacking in the flavor department.
As far as vegan centric food goes it's definitely worth a stop but I'll wait a few months before I go back so they can work out the kinks with the new menu.
A little hard to find, but maybe that's the point. The atmosphere is super cozy mid-century modern. Perfect classic cocktails for $10. Get the empanadas! You wouldn't expect a small bar to have such amazing food, but they do.
We loved dining at Shoals so much last night, we came back the next day for happy hour and smashed again! The space is so vibey and the music set the tone. Kay was refreshing and really contributed to our experience being so enjoyable. Our personal favorite item on the menu was the Chop Cheez! We’re also fans of the Shiitake Ceviche and Kale Salad! Yum! Do yourself and taste buds a favor and stop by Shoals!
We have been vegans for 7 months now and we drive all around DFW area to find good vegan options, Shoals is out favorite no doubt.
The food is so fresh and flavorful. You can taste the freshness in each dish! Friendly staff and cool place!! Keep up the amazing work, Shoals!!!
Visiting from Austin and this has HANDS DOWN been our favorite vegan spot we’ve found up here. The vibe and aesthetic are nice for a casual date. Music was on point! Cocktails were delicious. But the food was AMMMMAZZZZING! We had the mushroom ceviche, each savory empanada, and the Cubano. Literally obsessed with each! Flavors were on point and distinct to each dish. Nothing tasted the same and we left pleasantly full. I would highly recommend this to vegans and non-vegans alike. Brilliant spot!
